After looking at this screenshot from the Assault carrier in Halo
I looked at the ship and its seems from appearance alone that
the ship can separate in to 2 separate sections. Perhaps if it does
will could/will see this happpen in Halo 3.

It appears as if the rear section could separate from the front top sction that slopes back.

( This is not a Halo 3 screenshot, but rather a great wallpaper from Major Dump at Halouvre.org )

What do you think ? can the ship separate into 2 sections/ different ships ?

Probably for emergency escape reasons. Bit like the enterprise.

Well let's say the reactor core in the covenant ship is about to explode,they seperate half the ship so when the core explodes only half the ship is destroyed and saving a-lot of covie lives because they were evacuated does that answer your question?

I agree. It could be a some sort of separation and escape device in case of a emergancy.

true, but how often do the covenant have to worry about the reactor core exploding?

Hey the reactor exploded in Halo 2 when chief put the bomb in it. Better safe than sorry.
also the MAC rounds can go right through a covenant ship.

Not a-lot but let's say that a MAC round tore through there engines and created a breach in the reactor core then the core would explode in a matter of minutes. This happened to the Enterprise

Yeah!

Oh, and I believe that is actually a screenshot, just from a far off view of the happenings in the one cutscene when the cruiser jumps.
